Premiums on ScaIps.

When IL i3 shown that over $50, 600
have been paid out by the several cuun-
ties of the State as premiums on sCdlps
of birds and animals supposed to be iDju
Tious TO the agricultuTist, since The
passage OF the ac5, and that a large part
of this amount has been fralduleDtly
paid. it is certainly proper that the legis-
lature should seriously consider the re-
peal OF the law.
Besides, when scientific men who have
Investigated the subject, certify that
blrds which are under the ban of this
law are not in the least harmful. but, on
the contrary, are a benefit to the inter
esis OF the agricuiturists, their opinion
should certainly have much weight Nth
the legislature.
Doubtless. in the beginning, these
laws Of determination were bt btneficial
aud were honestly executed, but as time
progressed, the ingenuity of guileful
mau devised plan TO turn their honest
provisions into a fraudulent scheme tC
make mUn-y. The animals legls'ated
against are no nearer determination TO-
day than when the law was first enacted
In many localities the number destroyed
each year has steadily increased, and the
reason Of th s is plain enough they have
teen carefully bred and raised by hose
who have been reaping a large annud
revenue from the sale of their inDOcen
scalps.
Tn is a species OF cruelty to animal;
which the legislature should provide
against in the bill on this subject which
they shall finally frame.-HdrriSblr

The Philadelphia Record thinks, and
1t is not alone in this, that Harrisburg
should have a new Capitol, one worthy
OF the greatness Of the Common wealth.
It furthermore says with great frank
ness that when the new Capitol shall
have been built the people or Pennsyl-
vsnia should put into it Legislators who
will not betrsy a shameful subserviency
to corporate monopoly in all its FORMS -
Philadelphia does not want the Capitol
Harrisburg is the mos. convenient place
for it. and it should stay there. But the
citizens Of Philadelphia can do very
much to improve the character of the
representatives who occupy the Capitol,

Another COlOred Recorder.

James NJ. Trotter, who was nUmiLa ated
on last Monday by the President to
succeed Mr.. Matthews, of Albany, who
was twice nominated by the President
and twice rejected by the Senate, is a
cOlored man of Boston. He is 4S years
old, and was born in Ohio, but has lived
in Massachusetts for the last thirty-fiy
years. He enlisted as a private Ia the
famous Fifty fifth COloTed Massachu-
setts Regiment, and came out of service
at the close o! the war lieutenant. For
eighteen years he filled the position of
assistant superintendent of the r, g'ster-
ed Letter Department in the B ,ston
postoffice. from which position he was
retired in 1884 on account of supporting
Mr.. Cleveland for the Presidency. He
was strongly recommended by the cIti-
zens and press of Hyde Park, Mass, at
which place he resides, for the position
of postmaster Of that place. Mr.. Trotter
is generally regarded by those who know
him as a man of high character and
marked ability. He IS the author of d

workings of a counterfeit press in the

consul in one OF the Bolivian cities sold
his press to my English compa nion.-
Another of our diplomatic corps IN Bo-

New York. There were a few halls on
the tops and bottoms of the kegs. but
the main contents were counterfeit silver

A brother in-lsw Of President Dosa of

The laws delay" hrs received a
sharp censure IN the Illinois Legislature
by the presentation of bill to allow any
two persons, by agreement, to appear
before the judges OF specified courts, and
submit without formal pleadings, the
statement of any matter in controversy
between them. Tne Judge is to hear
the matter forthwith, and render his
decision promptly. This manner OF
dlsposing of controversies will do away
with much wearisome and expensive
litigation. There is a tendency among
the more intelligent class OF people to
refer their differences to srpitrators In
stead Of making it matter for trial by
jury, and this manner OF settling disputes
will grow in favor as people advance in
intelligence and honor.

The Arbitration bill, which was called
into existence by the labor troubles, and
passed the House OF Congress last ses-
sion, has passed the Senate. 1t provides
that when differences which may hinder
OF interrupt or affect transportation of
property or passengers arise, party to
the controversy must accept the written
proposition os the other to submit their
differences to arbitration. There may
be some difficulties in the way of an am
Icable adjustment, even in this method,
but it is probably as fair way of settling
a dispute as can be devised.

1T is surprising to learn how much OF
the news of the day, which finds its way
into the columns of our great dailies,
has no foundation in fact. Two sensa-
tiOnal articles telegrspeed to the city
papers last week from Bellefonte, ons
concerning the loss of life and disable
ment caused by the falling of insecure
scaffolding, and the other telling OF the
torturing and robbing of John Bortmas.
were both stories emanating from the
lively but depraved imagination of some
ambitious Lews fabricator. News to be
valuable must be correct and one of the
first essentials of a good news paper is
lis reliability. The best of papers are
liable to be imposed upon at times, even
those which detest all forms of falsehoOd
and sensation but in the sharp daily
rivalry for news, very few papers have
time to sift the news sent them, and are
obliged to rely on their regular and
special correspondents for its genuine
ness. Just how many of the Outrages,
petty crimes and unnatural freaks. daily
/ chrOnicled in the leading papers actually
/ occur, would be difficult to ascertain
| but at least fifty per cent, of them never
| happen at all, or are 50 highly colored
by the facile pen of the correspondent
that the original act could never be
recognized by its description. The in
telligent public are not Interested in the
exaggerated pen pictures of petty often
COS, and the paper which leads the var
in repudiating all such sensatiOnalIsm
gives only important news and that COL
rectly, and IS progressive in thought
Will be the paper of the future.

The Republican Congressman were
placed in an unpleasant quandary last
week when it came to vote to sustain
or not sustain the Presidents veto of
the Dependent Pension bill. They knew
the majority of the people we're in favor
OF sustaining the President, yet to vote
that way would be acknowledging him
TO be right. Their OverpOwering desire
10 cripple the President won. but their
effort failed, and the Democratic chief
is stronger to-day than ever.

The Pacific Roads and the Senate.

Whether OF not she present Congress
will, during the few days that remain to
it, order the Pacific Railroad investiga-
ton, is a question which the American
people are very much interested in Just
at present. On account of the exposure
of corruption and miSmanagement, the
Funding Bill failed. The fact was ap-
precfated that no final arrangement
should be concluded between the Gov
ernment and the roads until the situation
was thoroughly investigated.
1t was seen that the chances OF the
people getting their money back from
the corporations we're yearly growing
less. The security for the Central Pa
ciic debt had probably become worthless
already, while its wreckers we're in the
possession OF private fortunes of from
twenty to sixty million dollars each, and
one of them sat in the United States
Senate with an ugly record indicating
the corrupt use Of money. The Union
Pacific security had not been destroyed
to an equal extent perhaps, but both
properties had been bled Systematically
through being loaded down with leases
and other obligations and robbed of their
business for private gain. Though much
of the robbery was irreparable, there was
chance that part of the obligations and
drains we're illegally incurred. and that
some restoration could be effected for
the Governments benefit
The improperly Of closing a record of
corruption and rascalitY whereby the
people had suffered loss OF $3.50. .OOO. -
600, more or less, which had been con-
verted into individual estates, was too
apparent TO permit the schemers 20 sue
ceed. And now they are striving to
prevent the investigation which must be
bad before there can be any intelligent
legislation. Matters cannot be left as
they are, certainly, without assuring the
loss to the public. Nothing but corrup-
tion can prevent the investigation. And
: the people are waiting to see what the
Senate will do about it. The question
is directly before it. World.

GOLD being the measure Of value, its
increase in quantity has given silver q
relative increase in value. Commercial
values have also been slightly influenced
thereby. II the increasing productive
ness OF gold should continue, and thus
unsettle values, it will give a new impe-
tus to the discussion of one OF the
Greenback doctrines, that values should
not be based on gold alone, but on the
entire possessions of the Government,
and be controlled to suit the demands
and couveniences Of commerce and
trade.
